KINGSVILLE (News Release) - On Oct. 24, at approximately 7 a.m., Kingsville Border Patrol Station agents patrolling on U.S. Highway 77, located an abandoned Chevrolet Suburban that appeared to have struck a tree in the median. A quick inspection of the vehicle revealed blood splatter in the rear storage area. There were no subjects in the immediate area of the vehicle, however, agents observed footprints leading away from the vehicle and into the brush. Approximately two hours later, agents located five migrants in the brush. One of the subjects was suffering from a head laceration which he claimed he obtained when the smuggler took a turn too fast causing the vehicle to roll over. The injured migrant was escorted to the hospital for medical treatment.
